Jack is driving me insane!!!!!!!

We have to have a course of antibiotics for his ears and then go back to the doctors to see if we have to go back to the ENT. He has had huge ear problems resulting in many sets of grommets and countless courses of antibiotics.

Here are the things I have tried so far ...

Disguising it ... putting it in strawberry Quick ... he can still taste it
Making him take it ... he spat it back at me
Forcing it down his throat ... he hit his head trying to get away
Bribery ... he decided he didn't want chocolate anyway
Removal of enjoyment ... told him to take it or no Foxtel ... he hid the remote and then played in his room
Explanation ... Told him if he didn't have the medicine he would have to go back to hospital again and get more grommets ... he said okay
Threats ... If you don't take this medicine then you won't be able to see Scooby Doo 2 tonight and Emma & Ryan can go ... cries harder and upsets Mum because she wants to go LOL

I am at my wits end ... I am going to buy a syringe today and sit on him (hopefully I won't kill him in the process) and make him take it. We won't be going to the movies tonight, just Emma & Ryan and see if I follow through with the threat if he changes his mind. There will be no treats today when we go to the shops and then if this fails I am giving up and he can go back to hospital and have more bloody grommets!!!!!

I even told him that he was a baby and that his cousin Riley (who is nearly 3) was a big boy about taking his medicine!!! He just doesnt care ... he doesnt like it and wont bloody take it ... I wouldn't mind but he is almost 6!!!!!!!!! I have been in tears about this and I don't need it ... God help me when the baby has arrived and I have to get him to take medicine ... all I need is for him to start crying, screaming and carrying on and then upsetting the baby etc ... *SIGH*

Ok thanks for letting me rant and rave and if you have any other suggestions please let me know ... I did think about taking him back to the doctor and getting a penicllian shot instead of taking the antibiotics but I dont know if they will do that.

Cheers
